WOODEN HANDLE FOR TEA'AND COFFEE POTS.

SPECIFICATION faint-ling part of Letters Patent No. 309,060, dated December 9, 1884-.

Application filed April 8, 1884. (No model.)

To aZ Z whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, Aoensrns J AHONT, of

Akron, in the county of Summitand State of v Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WVooden Handles for Tea and Coffee Pots; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same. 1 1' My invention relates to imprevements in wooden handles designed more especially for tea-pots and coffee-pots, the obj cct being to pro Vide awooden handle supported by wooden arms, that in turn are scouted in sockets in metal supports that are attached to the vessel, and with air-chambers between the end of the arm and the vessel, to the end that the handle will not be overheated with ordinary usage. A further object is ,to provide a serviceable handle at a small initial cost.

With these objects in view my invention consists in certain features of construction and and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation of a coffee-pot with my improved handle attached. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical section of the handle. Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of the metal. attachment by which the arms are secured, tothe vessel.

A represents a coffee-pot; hi, the handle, made of wood; and O, the wooden arms that support the handle. The, handle has holes of suitable size, forming sockets. thatreceive the ends of the arms, and the othe ends of the arms engage, respectively, socirets d, formed on the metal pieces D. These {pieces may be of cast metal, or may be pressed from thin metal sheets, and have a llange, d, that is soldered or riveted to the vessel. The body of the part 1) projects far enough to leave an a1r-chan1ber back of the socket that receives the arms, and small air-holes c are provided, so that the air is not confined in those chambers. A wash-er, F, is placed next to the bot tom of the socket d, as shown, to strengthen the parts, and a rivet, G, passes through the washer, the bottom of the socket, the arm, and handle, firmly securing the parts, after which the flanges d are secured to the vessel. The wooden parts are preferably japanned, to give them a better finish and to protect the wood from the heat when the vessel is set on a hot stove.

These handles may be made ata small initial cost, and will not become so heated with ordinary usage but that they may be handled with comfort.

Iv am aware that non-conducting handles, and also handle-supports provided with airchambers, are not broadly new, and hence make no broad claim thereto; but

What I claim is- 1. A wooden handle for a tea-pot or collecpot, supported by wooden arms that enter sockets in the handle and in the metal supports by which they are secured to the vessel, substantially as set forth.

2. A wooden handle for a tea or coffee pot, supported by wooden arms that enter sockets in the metal supports that are secured to the vessel, and the said metal supports provided with an air-chamber between the arm and vessel, and perforations leading thereto, and the parts fastened together by rivets, as shown.

3. A wooden handle for tea or co'tl'ce pots. supported by wooden arms that are secured in sockets in the handle and in the metal sup ports that are secured to the vessel, and the metal supports re-enforced at the base of the sockets by a washer, and the parts secured by rivets, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification, in the presence of two witnesses, this 31st day of March, 1884.
